Switchfoot - The Blues |
|
Is this the New Year, or just another night? |
|
Is this the new fear, or just another fright? |
|
Is this the new tear, or just another desperation? |
|
Is this the finger, or just another fist? |
|
Is the kingdom, or just a hit and miss? |
|
I've missed direction, |
|
most in all this desperation |
|
Is this what they call freedom? |
|
Is this what you call pain? |
|
Is this what they call discontented fame? |
|
It'll be a day like this one, |
|
When the world caves in |
|
When the world caves in |
|
When the world caves in |
|
I'm singing this one, |
|
like a broken piece of glass, |
|
For broken arms and broken noses in the back |
|
Is this the new year, |
|
or just another desperation? |
|
You push until you're shoving, |
|
You bend until you break, |
|
Do you stand on the broken fields |
|
where your fathers lay? |
|
It'll be a day like this one, |
|
When the world caves in |
|
When the world caves in |
|
When the world caves in |
|
When the world caves in, |
|
(ah,) |
|
When the world caves in, |
|
When the world caves in |
|
There's nothing here worth saving, |
|
There's no one here at all, |
|
Is there any night life, |
|
that could break our fall? |
|
It'll be a day like this one, |
|
When the sky falls down, |
|
And the hungry and poor |
|
and desserted are found |
|
Are you discontented? |
|
Have you been pushing hard? |
|
Have you been throwing down, |
|
this broken house of cards? |
|
It'll be a day like this one, |
|
When the world caves in, |
|
When the world caves in, |
|
When the world caves in, |
|
Is there nothing left now? |
|
Nothing left to sing? |
|
Are there any left now, |
|
who haven't kissed The Enemy? |
|
Is this the new year, |
|
or just another desperation? |
|
Ah... |
|
Does justice ever find you? |
|
Do the wicked ever lose? |
|
Is there any other song, |
|
to sing beside these Blues? |
|
And nothing is okay, |
|
Till' the world caves in, |
|
Till' the world caves in, |
|
Till' the world caves in, |
|
Till' the world caves in, |
|
Till' the world caves in, |
|
Until the world caves in, |
|
Until the world caves in, |
|
Until the world caves in, |
|
Until the world caves in, |
|
Until the world caves in, |
|
Until the world caves in... |
